On October 11, Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision Administration released the latest issue of food safety sampling inspection. According to the circular, a batch of sauerkraut sold by Shenzhen Volunteer Hook Catering Management Co., Ltd. has sulfur dioxide exceeding the standard by 1.5 times. It is reported that people who are allergic to sulfur dioxide (such as asthmatic patients) will have allergic symptoms such as asthma, headache or nausea. In addition, a batch of ready-to-eat braised pork knuckle meat sold by a Longjiang pork knuckle rice restaurant in Shenzhen, Salmonella exceeded the standard. It is reported that the main symptoms of food poisoning caused by Salmonella are vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

it is reported that 2247 batches of food in the catering sector were sampled this time, among which 22 batches of unqualified samples were detected, involving unqualified items such as quality indicators, veterinary drug residues, food additives, microbial contamination and non-edible substances. According to the circular, the detected value of sulfur dioxide residue in a batch of sauerkraut sold by Shenzhen Volunteer Hook Catering Management Co., Ltd. was 1.25(g/kg). The National Standard for Food Safety-Standard for the Use of Food Additives (GB 2761-2114) stipulates that the residue of sulfur dioxide in pickles should be ≤1.1g/kg. From this calculation, sulfur dioxide exceeded the standard by 1.5 times.

It is reported that sulfur dioxide (as well as additives such as potassium metabisulfite and sodium sulfite) has bleaching and antiseptic effects on food, and it is a common bleaching agent and preservative in food processing, and all of them produce sulfur dioxide residues after use. A small amount of sulfur dioxide and sulfite ingested by human body will be quickly excreted in the form of sulfate, so the systemic toxicity of sulfur dioxide and sulfite is low. However, people who are allergic to sulfur dioxide (such as asthmatic patients) will have allergic symptoms such as asthma, headache or nausea. Therefore, people with allergies should clearly explain their situation and needs to food suppliers, and if they feel unwell after eating, they should seek medical advice immediately.
